Goldenvine

This average-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for around 45 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, curved stems covered in ridged, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is gray.

The branches trail down to the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of small, very narrow and elongated, leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are generally gold, light and leathery.

In late summer it produces lots of large, bronze blossoms with heart-shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like misty mornings.

In mid-autumn small long, curved fruits ripen. The fuzzy cyan skin is thick and savoury, and the crunchy olive flesh is sweet and very dry. The vivid green seeds are small and are located in the centre of the fruit.
